AN: I'm back! Yes, lovelies, it's been a long time. But I shall make a promise to you right now- I will never give up on this story! I may have a couple little breaks, and I'm sorry, but I'll always come back! Anyway, little thing about the songs in this chapter: anything in parentheses means that someone other than the main vocalist for that song, usually a group of people, is singing. As for the last song, the parentheses are Jesse, Donald, Benji, Beca, Unicycle, Chloe, Aubrey, and Fat Amy. The brackets (these little things :[ ]) are Rose, at the very end when she and Donald are alternating between 'Put your hands up' and 'whoa'. So then Donald's part there is bolded. But just for the ending of the last song. A bit confusing, I know, sorry. But just nod along and pretend. And make sure to read AN at the bottom, I ask a couple questions (some for everyone and some for specific readers). So please, read and enjoy!
"C'mon, Beca, get your shit on and together and let's go!"
It's Frat-Night. The party-planners of this frat-(un)-tastic shindig had only given the aca-nerds a week's notice, so each group called in their former leaders and friends for help. Except Bumper. All the Trebles conveniently forgot to tell him. The house that it was held at belongs to one of the fraternities, and it was conveniently nestled adjacent to Treble Hall. The Bellas had brought all of their stuff to Treble Hall for tonight because they were getting ready with the boys. All Trebles in Caleb and Jack's room, all Bellas in Jesse and Benji's. The groups had been practicing their butts off for that one week they were given, and no one had even thought about costumes until that morning. Since they were just working on cleaning up the choreography, everyone voted in favour of Stacie going out to buy the outfits. Everyone except Beca. "Why are you so opposed to her picking your clothes? She has a great sense of style!" Chloe had pointed out. Beca had replied that she knew whatever Stacie got would not be cool with her. Now, standing in Jesse's dorm room in just her underwear with her hair and makeup done (curtesy of them jumping her again), trying unsuccessfully to keep the Bellas from rifling through his room while also trying to (again, unsuccessfully) dodge the offending pieces of cloth being thrown at her, Beca is wishing that she wasn't right just this once.
"Stacie, these clothes aren't even clothes. They are squares of fabric that were cut out and strung together with floss," Beca's voice is practically pleading with the girls to let her off the hook. "Amy, stop going through his drawers!"
Fat Amy picks up a pair of Jesse's underwear, one of the few pairs of boxer-briefs he owns. Amy gives Beca a look, bit otherwise discards them with a careless toss and begins searching through the drawer again.
I hope she doesn't find the-, Beca thinks just as Fat Amy pulls out the Doctor Who pair with Nine, Ten, Eleven, Rose, Jack, Donna, Martha, the Ponds, River, and Clara. Beca groans. She had reluctantly agreed to watch the series with him over the summer. She'd never admit it, but she loves the show. As a matter of fact, she groans more from seeing Rose next to Ten than from Fat Amy finding the one pair Beca was just specifically wishing her not to find.
"Oi, what the hell is your boy-toy doin' with men and other women on his underwear?"
Beca actually face-palms herself -something she picked up from Jesse- and then simply says, "It's from a show. Doctor Who." The girls' faces are blank. "Ugh, it's British. Actually, Rose, Jesse and I have many conversations about the freaky connection between you and the blonde, also named Rose. But, whatever, back to the atrocity you expect me to wear. I mean, if you were that mad that we couldn't fit in any StarKid songs, you could've just told me."
Stacie just rolls her eyes at Beca and says, "Jesse won't be able to take his eyes off you."
"Yeah, and neither will anyone else because one of my boobs are likely to make an appearance in that."
Stacie signals Aria and Chloe, and they come over and hold Beca down. "Now, Beca, either you willingly get into the clothes, or we hold you here until Jesse comes in to check on you, which should be right about-"
"BeCAW! You okay?" They hear Jesse from behind the door.
"Yeah! Just a minute!" She answers. She looks at Stacie again. "Ugh, fine. Just, go wait outside." The Bellas file out, and Beca gets changed.
As Stacie and the girls brush past Jesse they see the other Trebles sitting along the wall down the hallway. The Bellas sit opposite of them. "Is she okay?" Jesse asks, still staring at his dorm door.
Stacie smirks, "She's fine." Huh, she thinks. He is head over heels for her. He didn't even glance at any of us! Then she turns to Fat Amy. "How long do you think until they both notice the toner and just get it over with already?"
The Trebles join their conversation. It's one that all of them had discussed before.
"I think, if she's dressed like you all are, that he won't be able to hold off much longer," Donald says with a wink. Stacie changes abruptly from confident and teasing to the shy girl the current Bellas had seen at the first rehearsal.
Chloe looks to Aria, and Aria whispers, "I'll tell you later." Chloe nods and decides to change the subject.
"Well, with the way you dressed Jesse tonight, I don't think Beca will be able to keep her toner in check any longer."
Jesse, in his full suit-and-midnight-blue-tie glory, decides to try and ask his question from audition all that time ago. "What's a toner? Last time I asked, Beca whisked me away before Fat Amy could explain."
Kolio gives him the 'what the fuck?' look. "Dude, a toner's a musical boner."
Jessie scrunches his nose slightly. "A musical boner? How does that even work? Like she gets," he looks around, his voice goes a little lower, and his cheeks darken slightly, "Turned on," his voice goes back to normal, "By certain music? Or she just likes that I like music?"
Aubrey gets into the conversation. "It means she gets. . . " Her nose scrunches even more than Jesse's. "Aroused. . . when she hears you sing. It's very distracting. You guys need to take care of it."
Jessie takes a moment to think it over while looking at his lap. All the others just sit quietly, waiting for him to think it through. "But why is it a toner? Wouldn't that be only guys?" He looks around at them. "I mean, girls don't have certain genetalia that would give them a 'musical boner'."
Aubrey rolls her eyes in disgust. "Oh, Beca was the first time that toner was used legitimately for a girl."
Unicycle looks confused. "You've never said another girl had a toner before?"
"No," Chloe answers, "we have. It's just that it never quite stuck until Beca came around."
Still confused, Jesse starts to ask, "Why-"
Cynthia-Rose's face lights up. "I'll tell it."
Stacie looks around Donald to Jesse. "No, me-"
"I think, as Beca's favourite Australian, it's my story," Fat Amy says as if it is obvious.
"How do you guys even know?" Aubrey inquires. "Only Beca and I were still in the room at the time!"
Fat Amy, rounding on Aubrey, says, "Excuse you, Flatbutt, I was in the back." She pauses. "All I heard was her last sentence, but one night last summer she got drunk and told us. Anyway, Beca and Aubrey were talking about her scary ear spike and Aubrey was telling her to take it out, right? Not forever, although I'm sure Sticks woulda preferred that, huh? And then she said-"
"Sticks?" Aria asks.
"Yeah, I'm tryin out some new nicknames for all you. Can't have me getting boring, now. As I was saying," she gets annoyed, then her mood changes abruptly to almost chipper, "then Aubrey was all like 'your toner is distracting' and Beca was like 'a toner?' And Sticks said, 'a toner? A musical boner? I can see it through your jeans. It's distracting' and Beca walks away saying. . ."
Without anyone noticing, Beca walks out of Jesse's room.
Fat Amy continues. "That's my dick! So she's the only one-"
Beca speaks up. "Fat Amy, I swear to God, I am burning your phone when we get back."
Jesse looks from Amy to Beca and he just stares. Beca awkwardly crosses her arms across the shimmering dark blue-to-match-Jesse's-tie dress Stacie gave her. But that's not the problem that Beca had with it. No, the problem was that not only does it end about two inches from her hoo-haa (or at least that's what it seems like to her), but the back had a large triangle cut out, almost making it into two separate pieces. Then add the two and a half inch heels that Chloe lent her, and she was unhappy.
Jesse certainly wasn't. Earlier he had been aware that the other girls, clad in similar outfits in different colors, were shining but he hasn't paid much attention after that. Needless to say, his surprise was, to exaggerate, unmeasurable.
"Ugh, forget about toners. Jesse's about to get a boner!" Donald yells. The aca-nerds laugh, besides Jesse -too busy almost drooling while trying to remain a gentleman- and Beca -too busy trying to ignore everyone's stares. She hears their laughs and catcalls, and turns toward them with a scowl, before holding her hand out to Stacie.
"What?" The leggy brunette asks.
"Well, don't you have a jacket or something?"
"Nope. But I'm sure Jesse would be more than willing to strip for- ahem, I mean, strip his off for you. Let's go!" With that, Stacie gets up and struts down the hall as the rest follow her. Stacie is in red with Fat Amy, Lilly wears the same blue as Beca, Denise and Ashley are in purple, Chloe and Aubrey in green, Rose and Aria in pink, and Cynthia-Rose and Jessica in an almost-red orange. Beca reluctantly turns to get behind the herd of a cappella singers until she realizes Jesse is still in near his dorm room, except now he is standing up and peeling off his jacket. Looking up, he sees her waiting and smiles before jogging over to her an placing the suit jacket over her. She feels the smile pulling the corners of her mouth up and tries to hide it as she pulls her arms through his large sleeves and they continue to walk until catching up with Donald.
"Just so you know, I totally saw that smile. I got you to smile," Jesse chants.
"Ugh. Yes, dork, you did. But I also saw you ungentlemanly drooling, so shut it."
He does, but continues to smirk at her. Neither notice the others looking at them, or Chloe and Donald making and taking bets. Once they do, Beca grabs Jesse's arm, yelling, "C'mon, nerds, let's not mess it up this time!" The others run after them until they reach the sorority not far from them.
They weren't scheduled to perform until 11:00, and its only 10:00. So the whole group hovers over a couple of couches that are sat in a circle. The occupants of those couches get uncomfortable pretty quickly and get up and away from the Trebles and Bellas. As they sit down, Stacie decides on the game that everyone simultaneously did and did not want to play as a middle schooler: Truth or Dare.
"Do we have to?" whines Aria.
"Yes. Now, who shall go first?" Stacie ponders to herself. "I know, the easiest one. Fat Amy: truth or dare?"
"Dare, Flatbutt."
"Hmmm. . . I dare you to call Bumper and curse him out."
Fat Amy grimaces, but it goes away before most notice. She pulls out her phone and does exactly what Stacie asked. After a few choice words, and some non-existent ones, Fat Amy looks around the circle like a hawk looking for prey. Her eyes settle on Lilly before she asks, "Truth or dare?"
The group hears a mumble before Rose, sitting next to her, translates. "Truth."
The group groans. "Are you sure you don't just want to do dare?" Cynthia-Rose asks. "Rose is gonna have to translate your whole answer." Lilly shakes her head, and Fat Amy sighs as she thinks of a question.
After a moment, she does. "Got one, although I had a really good dare ready for you. Anyway, if you had to kiss one Treble, who would it be?"
Again, mumbling is heard before Rose speaks for her. "Benji."
A chorus of awes are heard as Benji looks at the ground before Lilly/Rose says, "Unicycle's turn."
Before he gets a chance to speak, however, a voice they didn't want to hear tonight says, "Actually, its my turn. I pick dare." Everyone turns toward where the voice came from to see Bumper plopping down next to Donald. "So, come on, tiny chick. Lay one on me."
Lilly takes a look around the group before shrugging. Rose listens to her before saying, "She dares you not to try and perform with us when the time comes for us to sing."
Bumper looks to Lilly and mutters curse words under his breath before speaking. "Well played, quiet one." He then looks at his choices of people. "Ear spike chick," he says looking at Beca, "Truth or dare?"
She can hear Jesse in her ear telling her to play it safe with truth. She whispers to him, "I won't give him the satisfaction." Louder now, she looks straight at Bumper, "Dare."
The little circle of friends gets quiet. Fat Amy even gets a bit nervous for her flat butted friend. Bumper, however, gets a Cheshire grin as he thinks it over.
"I dare you," he starts off, "to give Jessie a lap dance."
Immediately, the aca-dorks (besides Jesse and Beca) smirk. They are all hoping this will push their relationship along and get rid of the sexual tension.
Jesse looks to Beca and whispers, "I have a plan." He looks to the rest now before dragging Beca to a different room.
As she gets pulled away, Bumper yells, "Where are you going?"
Jesse looks over his shoulder and, with breaking his stride, says, "You never said we couldn't go to another room." Beca, now getting it, begins to smirk. Their friends awe in disappointment before they hear a door closing.
"Can we stop now?" Aria inquires nervously.
"Yeah," Donald replies. "Let's get drunk!"
"Not yet!" Aubrey, who had stayed back during Truth or Dare, speaks up. "You have to wait until after we all sing!"
Everyone groans again, but they sit around talking until 11:00.
At the same time, the door has just clicked shut. They find themselves in another living area. Damn, she thinks. This house is huge!
"I wonder why no ones in this one?" Jesse asks, mostly to himself. Beca reopens the door enough to look at the side facing out and sees a sign. 'Off limits- Keep out!'
"Ugh, I don't think we're supposed to be in here," she says as she opens it wider to show him the note.
He timidly shrugs, before sitting on the dull red couch and parting the spot next to him. He is suddenly nervous, and it shows in his voice as he talks to her. "You don't have to, you know?"
She lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding. When did I become this? Who am I anymore? Regardless of her inner monologue, she looks at him gratefully and when she thanks him, she means it. "So, now what?"
He gets a goofy smile on his face as he turns to face her. "I can think of a few things to do."
He gently brings her face closer to his. They start out slow, tentative, but that doesn't last for long. Beca reaches for something to do with her hands and they find his hair. Sporadic hmms are heard as she gently tugs. His hands are, at first, holding hers. After a while he moves them to her hips. They are no longer kissing. It isn't so romantic anymore, more passionate. Almost battling. Yes, like. . . face battling, Jesse thinks. He pulls away and laughs lightly.
Beca looks puzzled. "What?" She asks from atop his lap. And yes, his. . . Ahem, toner is present.
He explains his laughter and it isn't long before Beca laughs, too, and they continue face battling.
At five to eleven, Donald realizes that Beca and Jesse still aren't with them. He gets up and knocks on the door they went through. When he doesn't hear anything, he goes in. It's a sight to see. Beca, lying half on top of Jesse, has her dress twisted in an uncomfortable looking position with Jesse's suit jacket still on her. Jesse's left arm is draped across her waist, and the only part of his apparel that changed is that his black button down is rolled up to his elbows. Donald laughs and motions Stacie over. She awes before snapping a picture with her phone. She pecks Donald on the cheek, which does not go unnoticed by the new, current, and former Bellas, then squishes Beca's shoulder with her palm. Beca wakes up, moves to wake Jesse, and they both rush to make themselves and each other presentable before they hear the DJ say, "Give it up for Barden's very own Bellas and Treblemakers!"
The crowd applauds as the group files on stage. "Alright," Beca starts off. "This set is called College Collab Favourites! We took some of your and our favourite songs from the past year or two. The Collab part comes from this being the very first time ever that the Bellas and Trebles have performed together, so make the best of it, it may never happy again!" She gets into her place as the crowd, besides a very grumpy Bumper, laughs. The music starts and the boys do the beat throughout the whole first song. Cynthia-Rose steps in front of the rest as the lyrics begin.
This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen
All of the girls join for the choruses.
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
That skyfall
Cynthia-Rose takes over again.
Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number, you can take my name
But you'll never have my heart
The Bellas, with the Trebles still doing the beats, sing back-up for Cynthia-Rose.
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At skyfall
(Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall)
Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll stand
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At skyfall
Let the sky fall
We will stand tall
At skyfall, Oh
The crowd is cheering as the boys go to take center stage, this time the Bellas sing the backup. The choreography starts immediately.
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
Darlin' you give love a bad name
Unicycle gets the first solo, maneuvering through the dancing bodies to the front.
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through Hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passions a prison, you can't break free
Oh, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Even the girls join in for the chorus, and with no beat whatsoever the crowd go wild.
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
You give love, a bad name
Donald takes the microphone from Unicycle.
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Oh, you're a loaded gun
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
This time the Bellas stay with the beat.
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
You give love, oh!
Oh!
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
Half of the Bellas do the echoes while the other half keep the beat going. All the Trebles sing the main chorus, all the while doing sharp choreography.
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
You give love
You give love (bad name)
You give love
You give love (bad name)
You give love
You give love (bad name)
You give love
As the people in the audience once again cheer, Hat steps up for the next song. He keeps the main vocals for the whole song.
It's been a really, really messed up week
Seven days of torture, seven days of bitter
And my girlfriend went and cheated on me
She's a California dime but it's time for me to quit her
(La, la, la)
Whatever
(La, la, la)
It doesn't matter
(La, la, la)
Oh well, la, la, la
Jesse, Benji, and Jack help him out on the choruses.
We're going at it tonight, tonight
There's a party on the rooftop top of the world
Tonight, tonight and were dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign
I don't know if I'll make it but watch how good I'll fake it
It's all right, all right, tonight, tonight
I woke up with a strange tattoo
Not sure how I got it, not a dollar in my pocket
And it kinda looks just like you
Mixed with Zach Galifianakis
(La, la, la)
Whatever
(La, la, la)
It doesn't matter
(La, la, la)
Oh well, la, la, la
We're going at it tonight, tonight

Just don't stop let's keep the beat pumpin'
Keep the beat up, lets drop the beat down

Again, the applause doesn't stop until the Bellas and Trebles start with the beats. Stacie sings lead now.
The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love
But now that I get you
I know fear is what it really was
Now here we are
So close yet so far
Haven't I passed the test
When will you realize
Baby, I'm not like the rest
Benji and Beca join her on the choruses. Chloe and Aubrey are doing ballet behind everyone.
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to wait
So let me give your heart a break, (give your heart a break)
Let me give your heart a break, (your heart a break)
There's just so much you can take
(Give your heart a break)
Let me give your heart a break, (your heart a break)
Oh yeah, yeah
On Sunday you went home alone
(There were tears in your eyes)
I called your cell phone, my love
(But you did not reply)
The world is ours if we want it
We can take it if you just take my hand
There's no turning back now
Baby, try to understand
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to wait
So let me give your heart a break, (give your heart a break)
Let me give your heart a break, (your heart a break)
There's just so much you can take
(Give your heart a break)
Let me give your heart a break, (your heart a break)
Oh yeah, yeah
When your lips are on my lips
Then our hearts beat as one
But you slip out of my fingertips
Every time you run, whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to wait
So let me give your heart a break
'Cause you've been hurt before
I can see it in your eyes
You try to smile it away, some things you can't disguise
(Don't wanna break your heart)
Maybe, I can ease the ache, the ache
So let me give your heart a break, (give your heart a break)
Let me give your heart a break, (your heart a break)
There's just so much you can take
(Give your heart a break)
Let me give your heart a break, (your heart a break)
Oh yeah, yeah
The day I first met you
You told me (you'd never fall in love)
Jesse walks up to the microphone and announces, "Alright, this is our last song. Uhm. . . Enjoy!"
Jack, Caleb, Hat, Benji, Cynthia-Rose, Lilly, Stacie, Ashley, Jessica, Denise and Rose do the beat throughout the song. Everyone starts to shuffle.
(Party rock is in the house tonight
Everybody just have a good time
And we gon' make you lose your mind
Everybody just have a good time
Party rock is in the house tonight
Everybody just have a good time
And we gon' make you lose your mind
We just wanna see yaa!)
Aria steps through, still shuffling.
Shake That!
Unicycle takes the dance break into his own hands. Jesse shuffles up next to Aria to take sing his solo.
In the club party rock look up on your girl
She on my jock non stop when we in the spot
Booty move away like she on the block
What the track I gots to know
Top jeans tatto cause I'm rock and roll
Half black half white domino
Gane the money out the door
Yoooo!
Beca takes the next couple of verses, reminding everyone of her rapping to No Diggity.
I'm runnin through these hoes like draino
I got that devilish flow rock and roll no halo
We party rock yea! that's the crew that I'm reppin
On the rise to the top no led in our zeppelin
Hey!
(Party rock is in the house tonight
Everybody just have a good time
And we gon' make you lose your mind
Everybody just have a good time
Party rock is in the house tonight
Everybody just have a good time
And we gon' make you lose your mind
We just wanna see yaa!)
Aria, again, shuffles to the front.
Shake That!
She then takes to shuffling into the crowd.
Everyday I'm shufflin'
Shufflin' shufflin'
Donald sings the next portion, making his way next to Jesse, Beca, and Unicycle.
Step up fast
and be the first girl to make me throw this cash
We get money don't be mad
now stop hating is bad
One more shot for us
Another round
Please fill up my cup
Don't mess around
We just wanna see
You shake it now
Now you wanna be
Your naked now
Rose shuffles next to Aria, Jesse, Unicycle, Donald, and Beca. She songs the whole next portion until the others join in on the chorus.
Get up get down
put your hands up to the sound
Get up get down
put your hands up to the sound
Get up get down
put your hands up to the sound
Put your hands up to the sound
Put your hands up to the sound
Get up

And we gonna make you lose your mind [Put your hands up!]
Everybody just have a good good good time
[Put your hands up!] Wooo!
[Put your hands up]! Wooo!
[Put your hands up!] Wooo!
Rose travels back to the stage just as Aria and Donald finish the song.
Shake That!
Every day I am shuffling
The crowd is on their feet, roaring. Now the aca-nerds are very glad they aren't drunk. Because now they can get drunk while already in a good mood. As the Bellas followed the Trebles to the keg, Bumper joins them. Donald was the first to get a cup, and he immediately spit it out.
"This beer is crap!"
Stacie also tries some and says, "C'mon guys, let's bounce. We can just go and hang out in the Lounge."
Everyone agrees. They all take the short walk back to Treble Hall like before, except now Bumper is with them.
As they get into the lounge, the boys rush to get their Honey Buns.
"Beca, when are we going to get them back?" whines Rose.
"We have to wait until we know that they will be gone from Treble Hall long enough or us to move and replace it."
"Why can't we do it during class?"
"Actually, I never thought of that. Do they all have at least one class at the same-"
"Wait, what are you guys doing?" Chloe butts in.
"You cannot just skip class!" Aubrey shouts simultaneously.
Beca looks from one to the other and decides to completely ignore the blonde. "We have this sort of prank war going on and. . . Well, the boys love their Honey Buns."
Chloe grins. "I'm in. So what's the plan?"
"We want to take the Honey Bun machine out and put a-"
They hear the Trebles rushing back down the hallway before they are seen fighting over the last seats. Jesse moves to sit next to Beca before he realizes she is surrounded by the Bellas. He gets a mischievous look on his face before picking up her tiny frame and moving him into her place with her on his lap. The Bellas give her the 'you guys are so cute' look.
Beca sees them and then looks to Jesse. "Dude, not cool. Give me my seat back."
"No, I'm quite comfortable here," he smirks as he repositions her.
"C'mon, nerd, I thought you were a gentleman."
"Yes, but I'm also the adorable boyfriend who does cute things like lets you sit on his lap."
Beca gives him her signature eye roll. "Ugh. Whatever, dork."
All of the a cappella singers chat happily until suddenly they hear a grumble.
It was Bumper's stomach. "Can we go get food? Like actually food? Or beer, at least."
Most of the group nods, just now acknowledging their hunger. "Where should we go?" Chloe asks. "Near my and Aubrey's apartment there is a really cool bar named The Dive that has really awesome food, if you guys want to go there."
"Don't you guys live, like, two hours from here?" Benji points out.
Bumper is now holding his stomach and groaning. How about we just go down to The Jack? Their bar is great, and the waitresses are damn hot!"
Hat rolls his eyes. "No, Bumper. Just no. And besides, we can't go back there."
"Why not?"
Kolio grins toward Unicycle. "Unicycle tried to back flip off of the bartenders' station and he crashed into a group if very angry football players."
"What about Friday's? They have a bar, and great food!" Rose suggests.
Fat Amy raises her hand, like she does when telling Beca that she won't be doing cardio. "Ooh, I'm definitely down for Friday's!"
Lilly whispers to join the conversation. "Sorry, can't go there either."
Just barely hearing her, Jesse looks from Lilly to Beca. "Seriously?"
"Cynthia-Rose got the most drunk out of us all and started screaming 'This is Spartaaa!' while flipping tables over. And I tried to stuff a guppy down my waiter's shirt. The guppy liked it there," Lilly says under her breath.
"Oh, yeah," Fat Amy says after Jesse translated.
Donald looks from one side of the room to the other before saying, "Okay. We don't necessarily need a bar. We could just go eat and then bring beer here after. What about the Knight Library? It's run by sorority girls; you couldn't have been kicked out of there."
Beca smirks. "Actually, Stacie tried-"
Looking from Donald back to Beca, Stacie quickly cut her off. "You know what? We should grab some beers and just hang. We haven't done that in a while!"
"Yeah! And the first topic: how did you guys manage to get kicked out of so many places?" Chloe questions.
Ashley gets an amused smirk on her face. "Oh, Beca and Jesse have the best stories."
Beca begs, "Please, don't-"
Why can't I finish a sentence today, Beca thinks as Chloe cuts her off. "How about everyone tells their own stories? If you tell someone else's story you get. . . "
Benji looks to Beca and smiles. "You get Beca finding devious pranks for you involving Kit-Kats in the prank war!" She laughs.
Not quite understanding the Kit-Kat part, Chloe still enthusiastically replies, "Yeah! Alright! But Beca, you are definitely telling your stories!" She warns the petite brunette with a stern expression.
Jesse tries to come to Beca's aid and fails miserably. "But-"
Chloe, however, is still focused on Beca. "I'll pay for the all the beer you want and four new scary ear spikes," the redhead almost demands.
". . . Fine."
AN: Yes, folks! Bumper's arrived! And he's already stirring up trouble! Any theories as to why he's back, or what he might do while there? Let's play Hot or Cold. Leave your guesses in the reviews, and I'll PM you if you're hot (close) or cold (not so close)!
I also wanted to say 'Hello!' To all the StarKid fans, because you guys came at me all of a sudden like a bull in a china shop as soon as you saw all the StarKid things I've put in here. And have you seen AVPSY yet? I've only had time for the first three parts, but I love it already!
Songs I used (not in order):
Give Your Heart A Break- Demi Lovato
You Give Love A Bad Name- Bon Jovi
Party Rock Anthem- LMAO
Skyfall- Adele
13girlsrule: I would love to be friends! But there are some things that being my friend requires
1. The utmost fangirling,
2. Many, many references, and
3. Virtual cookies being offered to one another.
So, 13girlsrule, you up for it?
Guest Reviewer Julia: Did you like what I did with Jesse's Girl? If not, sorry. And if you have any other suggestions (critiques, too. I want to become better but I'm not getting any feedback that tells me what I'm doing wrong) let me know!
EnchantedSerendipity: Not up for the Friend Initiation? :(
ariel133: As far as the Hot and Cold game goes, you're on fire with that guess :D
Thanks to jellybean96, MIgirl923, and thecurlingiron for their song suggestions! It helped a lot!
